(May 28, 2024) -- Silversea has revealed details of its 2027 World Cruise: a 149-day voyage from Los Angeles to Copenhagen that will visit more destinations than any other voyage in the cruise line's history.
The World Cruise -- titled "The Three Oceans" -- will visit 80 ports in 35 countries across five continents, and will include 20 new calls for a Silversea world cruise and 11 overnight stays. The voyage is scheduled to take place aboard the 596-passenger Silver Dawn, billed as one of the smallest world-cruising ships.
“Calling in more destinations than any voyage in Silversea’s history, we proudly unveil The Three Oceans World Cruise 2027, which broadens our industry-leading offering of extended voyages,” said Silversea president, Bert Hernandez. "Our guests will explore more than 50 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, discover 20 destinations that have never been visited on a Silversea World Cruise, and attend four exclusive World Cruise events – bespoke experiences, curated by our team of experts."
The voyage's name is a nod to the Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic oceans, with each segment focusing on each body of water. The first segment takes travelers from Los Angeles to Brisbane over 46 days, with calls in the Hawaiian Islands, French Polynesia and Fiji.
The Indian Ocean segment takes place between Brisbane and Cape Town, and features calls in Bali, Singapore, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Seychelles and Reunion, among others. The segment also includes a two-night overland journey from Durban to Port Elizabeth with a visit to Victoria Falls.
The Atlantic Ocean portion of the world cruise goes from Cape Town to Copenhagen, traveling along the west coast of Africa with calls in Namibia, Angola, Ghana, Gambia, Senegal, Cape Verde and Morocco. The European portion of this segment visits various destinations in the Western Mediterranean and the British Isles before concluding in the Danish capital.
